Ted Rall for October 13, 1999

Transcript:

What's going on with George W. Bush? He's talking like a bona fide Marxist! (Man: Republican scum are protecting greedy corporations while ordinary people are alienated from their labor!) Naturally, everyone assumes that he's making a cynical play for populism but what if he really means it? (Man: The days when Americans put profits first are over! There's no excuse for poverty in the world's richest nation!) (Kid: To the winter palace!) If Clinton can pass NAFTA and welfare reform, why can't Bush nationalize industry and ban income disparity? (Man 2: The party is concerned.) (Man 1: Up yours, fatcat! The proletariat will string you and your pals up!) Workers of the world, you have nothing to lose but George's acid flashback! (Man 1: Collective farms- that'll show these agribusiness pigs!) (Man 2: He's still reliving 1968.) (Woman: Shut up or submit to re-education traitor!)
